NATCHEZ — On Saturday, more than 115 bicyclists rode in the Young Professionals’ 5th-annual Natchez Bicycle Classic.

The event draws cyclists from all over the region to tackle a ride up to 62 miles long on the Natchez Trace as well as some riding on mixed surface — gravel and paved roads — in Natchez.

Here are scenes from their takeoff on Saturday morning in front of the Natchez Grand Hotel.
